We do it all day everyday.Thinking,dreaming and scheming about that next weapon in our arsenal.Whether its a rod or a reel upgrade,or a whole new rig.Whats it going to be??? For me,its replacing my Veritas with a 7'4" Tatula XT and buying a new Tatula CT Type-R to go with it.New frog/flipping/pitching setup.

NRX 852S and a 2500 Shimano Stella for light plastics on the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers.

I'd love an NRX/Met MGL for a worm rod.Just not in my budget lol.I could get 3 really nice setups for that.

Another Megabass X7 for 1/4-3/8oz stuff, paired with my Daiwa Alphas

I myself just fulfilled that dream last night as I placed and order for a whole new arsenal ive been saving up for

1 Abu Garcia ike series jerkbait rod

1 Dobyns fury spinning rod

2 Dobyns fury casting

1 Dobyns Champion XP casting

1 Shimano Nasci

2 Shimano Curado I

2 Lews Tournament Pro G

My next purchase is most likely gonna be a dobyns champ 735c with probably either a new chronarch mgl or a curado 70 and I want to up grade my t-rig setup. Quite content on most of my setups so I want to start upgrading

An Irod Gen II Bailey Swimbait Rod (3-10oz) and a Diawa lexa 300. Whether or not I actually get it or not is going to depend on what I do for work this summer. I have some gift cards stashed away and I might wait for a sale to mitigate the cost.

I like it.A reasonable setup and not a "dream rig"

Im currently saving up for a 7'2 shimano zodias heavy and shimano caenan for jigs and frogs. $150 more and i can buy it. Now that im a father most my money goes to junior

I'll be paying replacement and shipping fees for the following:

 

7'0 MH Shimano Crucial 

7'0 MH St Croix Legend Xtreme

6'8 M St Croix Legend Tournament spinning

6'10 M St Croix Rage spinning

 

Nothing "new" but it'll feel really good having those replaced.

Just bought a Lew's Custom SLP for flipping and some P-Line Tactical in #17. I am looking to trade my older DX745c and get a new DX743/4 as a replacement.

Letting it all hang out because at 74 , time is running out:  DAIWA J-Dream 7.9 on a Loomis GLX 781C.  Dream is incoming from Japan and just bought the GLX from TW on sale for $199. 

 

 Savings of $195 for the rod and J Dream was $285. 

 

My last HURRAH!!

I hope I'm still tearing it up at 74.Bless your heart man.

I'm still looking for a new dedicated punch rod but haven't decided which one yet. 

All I know is I'm gonna put a PQ on it.

Im going to BPS to trade in an older Mitchell spinning reel during the trade in sale. Looking for a spinning reel to match up with my Vendetta and my Premier that I just picked up with coupon from GM. I reall y hope Im still out when Im 72, thats awesome!

I have a 6' ML Eagle Claw rod that feels more like a L power these days mated to cheap UL reel that I use at the creek or small ponds where I'm reasonable sure the fish won't exceed 2 lbs just for fun. It's quite mismatched so I'll probably buy a properly matched rod and reel for each.

My next one is going to be a lees tournament mg or daiwa tatula Ct, I haven't made my mind up yet, then a medium fenwick hmg. I have a lews lfs on a medium heavy hmg, I'm probably going to put it on the medium and put the new reel on the MH. 

I will shortly be ordering a 7'1" MHF Mojo bass and a 7'0" MF Avid X. The avid x is going to have a BB1 on it and I will sometime get a Curado for the mojo bass...but it will remain reel less for awhile.

MB XXX rattle viper for topwater.

Next setup is a Daiwa Tatual SV w/ Cronous Heavy. 

I think I'm going to get a St. Croix Bass X or Mojo Bass MH/F to do some work ripping lipless crankbaits through grass. I'm probably going to pair it up with a Pro Qualifier or PQ2 unless my buddy wants to let go of one of his Lew's cheap. I never really know though, because a trip to the St. Croix factory could land me a second of something different at a price I can't pass up haha.  

Looking to pick up a Dobyns Champ Extreme HP DX 702 SF Finesse and pair it up with a Stradic Ci4+ 2500 to replace my GL2 dropshot rod. Should be a nice jump in feel and sensitivity. 

Have a Megabass F3-610KS Orochi XXX on preorder. Going to be on an all around finesse setup. Going to order a Shimano 2500 HGFK for it in a couple weeks. Gonna try out some Seaguar Smackdown 15lb on it.

 

Also dreaming about a good reel to replace my Lews LFS on a Megabass orochi xx Diablo Spec R.  Was set on Shimano but Ive been researching Daiwa for awhile and think Im actually gonna go that route. I love everything about the Daiwa SV103, and I dont mind the weight at all. Probably not gonna get it until summer though since I have that spinning set up on order and work is slowing down so I have to be careful haha. When I get that 14lb sunline sniper will be going on it. Ive just been using yozuri hybrid for awhile and am ready to make the switch.

 

 

Great thread, Ive always dreaming up new combos.
